Israeli forces kill Palestinian in Nablus raid as settlers attack olive pickers

Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man in Nablus on Sunday before dragging his body through the streets, while settlers assaulted olive pickers elsewhere in the occupied West Bank.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 42-year-old Majed Mohammad Dawoud was killed during a raid on al-Ain refugee camp in Nablus in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Ghassan Hamdan, director of the Palestinian Medical Relief Society in Nablus, said Israeli soldiers stripped Dawoud of his clothes and dragged his body along the road as he bled to death.

The Israeli military had stormed the camp in the early morning, opening fire and carrying out assaults and arrests of residents.

The assault was part of a wide-scale raid-and-arrest campaign carried out across the West Bank on Sunday morning, involving home searches and assaults on civilians.
